With this program educators are able to post classroom material, share links and videos, and access homework, grades, and school notices within Edmodo. This program also stores and shares all forms of digital content—including blogs, links, pictures, video, documents, and presentations.
“The idea behind Edmodo is to provide a platform for teachers to be able to communicate with students, post messages, share content with each other, and post and grade assignments—but do it in a safe environment, where we aren’t requiring any private information from students,” said Betsy Whalen, former vice president of social media and marketing for Edmodo.

In its latest update Gaggle has combined forces with Wixie, a student publishing and creativity platform. With this integration, schools and districts will be able to add users to Wixie through their existing Gaggle accounts. The partnership between these two programs allows for students to share their knowledge through art and writing. Wixie also allows for educators to help share the work of students to others in the community.
